Fizzy Maths with Partnership Schools

This week we had 52 Year 5 children participating in our Fizzy Maths session. These termly events have become part of the termly cycle of five local primaries: St John’s, Furzefield, Audley, St Francis and Marden Lodge.  The participating pupils have been working on their ‘Fizzy Maths’ resources packs this term at their schools and came into the library to work with Caterham Fifth Year and Lower Sixth Form ‘Maths Ambassadors’ to develop their ‘higher order thinking skills’ and problem solving with logic, mathematical techniques and a bit of trial and error.  The session was led by Mrs Griffiths.  The scheme is now in its fifth year – and has evolved significantly, including learning some useful lessons during lockdown.
